We no Speak Americano

I have been hearing We No Speak Americano every fifteen minutes on the radio here. I tap my fingers to it and the Charlie Chaplainesque music video doesn't hurt.And then I discovered that the version I am incessantly hearing on the radio is a remix of the 1958 Tu Vuò Fa' L'Americano whose comedic musicians and poking-fun-of-the-ugly-american-wanna-be lyrics are even better than Charlie Chaplain. If all melodies could have the same luck as We no speak Americano...

The original Italian was playing at my cousin's house the other day and I made a note to ask her the name and the artist but now I don't have to, Rachel, because you provide such a useful service on your blog. Thank you!
